Favorite Photo Friday... our cruise to Kiel...

-
I am LOVING Fridays again... (OK, I ALWAYS love Fridays...) 
But now since I started hanging back out at Lisa's The Long Road to China & back....
I am LOVING BLOGGING on Fridays...

I am motivated to whip out my camera & document our lives again... I have been SOO bad this year!

Last week, Bjørn & I decided at the last min.. to grab our babies & take a cruise to Kiel...

It was their Fall Break... and we felt that ONCE again they had been gipped out of doing something COOL.
Our poor deprived babies...

Our options were an 8 hour drive to LEGO LAND in Denmark... Or a 2 day cruise to Germany.
We decided on the cruise.. so that we could have a little break too... 
& y'all KNOW how much Bjørn and I LOVE CRUISING...
For those of you new to AIN... hubby & I met & fell in love at sea.... (awwww)
On with the pictures..
OK... it is really a FERRY.... but the NICEST ferry I have ever been on.







View of one side of Oslo harbor...  If I was a wealthy woman... this is where I would have my boat!



Sail away....


We ate...
We Drank...

We shopped...

Hung out with Clowns...


WE had MUCH needed DOWN time as a FAMILY....





OK... Hope they don't get mad at me for my 596 pictures... but how to choose? 
We had such a nice weekend...

Don't worry...loads more to post of our time in Kiel...

Hope y'all have a fabulous weekend!

Gorgeous photos! It looks like you had a fab time together. I particularly love the photo of the sail boat harbour.

Being from the west coast of Sweden, having lived in UK for 11 years and on our way to US (in a year or so) AND married to a Bjorn as well :), I really relate to your blog!

Glad I found you. Must re-visit. Wishing you a great weekend!

Your photos are beautiful and so are your children. What a fun thing to do together as a family. It sounds like you are very thoughtful parents. I'm glad you had a good time and got a little respite.

Thanks again for stopping by my blog.

Your kids are so photogenic, and they appear not to mind, really enjoy your posts. Great shot of the sailboat on the waves too!

Hey you... hungry butt!

Hey you, Hungry butt!!!! .... First thought that played through my mind as I stood behind the woman in the GREY SWEATPANTS in line at the post office..... Hungry Butt is what my little sister & her friends say when referring to what in my day, was called a WEDGIE ..... "Hungry Butt" just fit the large bottom , which was gobbling its underwear in front of me.... Ugh.... the sight of her butt was burning into my mind as I waited in the ridiculously SLOW line at the post office.... No longer able to stand the site... I put my boxes down... and did the neighborly thing.... I pulled her underwear out of her butt.... You should have seen the SHOCK & SURPRISE on her face ... Ummm , OK I didn't do that... I tapped her on her shoulder & in my best AMERICAN accent announced to her & the rest of the post office... that she had the picture perfect HUNGRY BUTT... cause it was gobbling everything in sight... K... I didn't do that either... I just stood...

A visit to the ICE AGE....

Sunday... FUN-DAY, Another family day..... Because we had such nice weather, (never knowing how long it will last) we decided to take another family hike.... (2.5 hours....) around the be ach. It is funny, each week, each hike, I see changes in our family....less whining (on my part) & more time learning, enjoying our time together....Bjørn who usually gets irritated with all of my picture taking, is stopping to find things to take pictures of...appreciating colors, nature etc. Dane is less squeamish...touching & picking up all of sorts of things he finds along the hike.... Today we learned about Jettegryter or "Stone Pots" these huge rock formations from the ICE AGE .... pretty cool... these holes are formed by pebbles/gravel being aggitated by water, over thousand of years.... WOW..The holes on our local beach date back to 15,000 years.... the kids had a blast.... & wanted to stay much long...
